Adjust platform angle
as detailed here.
Failure to do so may
result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Adjusting the platform angle based on the
relationship of the platform at ground level
directly affects the angle of the platform
when positioned at floor level. The plat-
form angle must be adjusted so there is a
balance between the angle at both posi-
tions (equal amount of angle). Angle A
should equal angle B as shown at right
(center).
Unfold the lift and visually examine the
angle of the platform when positioned at
floor level. Lower the platform fully and
note the angle of the platform when it
reaches ground level also. The outboard
end of the platform should contact the
ground first when the platform is lowered.
Normal (Average Floor-To-Ground)
Installations: Typically there should be
approximately 3/4" to 1" clearance
between the inboard end of the platform
and the ground when the outboard end of
the platform contacts the ground.
Rear Door and Extensive Floor-To-
Ground Installations: Installations where
base plate wedges are used to tilt the lift
inboard for adequate rear bumper clear-
ance, and installations in vehicles with
extensive floor-to-ground dimensions,
require more platform angle adjustment
than normal. Before the platform angle is
adjusted in these types of installations,
typically the outboard end of the platform
will be angled severely upward when
positioned at floor level.
Adjustment Allen screws are provided on
each side of the lift platform for adjusting
the platform angle. Details and photos are
provided on the next page.
